Accelerate dredging operations in ports using waste materials in port ports. The proposal is of the Italian Federation of Shipping Agents, which recalls how dredging in Italian ports has been discussed for years with times for the carrying out operations vital to the activity of individuals seaports that "continue not only to be dramatically long but also the subject of maximum uncertainty". "The case of La Spezia and Genoa - explained the president of Federagenti, Paolo Pessina - can provide a solution immediate and effective: dredging the seabed in ports where there is compelling need to do so and move the materials to fill structures, many of which are watertight, in ports that are engaged in the construction of these infrastructures. Seems the open secret - observed Pessina - but precisely the door opened by the integration between Genoa, engaged in the construction of the dam and in the filling of the caissons and La Spezia, engaged with a delay of almost a decade, in the dredging of the Fondali provides a solution that could be used in a very short time be cloned in other ports".

For Federagenti, to this end, "it is therefore necessary in a very short time proceed with an "in & out" mapping, that is, ports that have to get rid of materials on the seabed to to have draughts capable of allowing ships of Higher tonnage and ports that need materials for filling containers, new filling infrastructures, reclaimed areas".

"As agents, and therefore as connoisseurs of the various realities and port emergencies - concluded Pessina - we are willing to make our knowledge available to create a very simple database that bypasses the various authorization subjects, simplifying procedures exactly as it happens in northern Europe where dredging is rightly considered simple work of maintenance".
